New Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Bis(fluorophenyl) Mercury, Hg(R_f)₂ (R_f = C₆F₅, 2, 3, 4, 6‐F₄C₆H, 2, 3, 5, 6‐F₄C₆H, 2, 4, 6‐F₃C₆H₂, 2, 6‐F₂C₆H₃) Bis(fluorophenyl) mercury compounds, Hg(R_f)₂ (R_f = C₆F₅, C₆HF₄, C₆H₂F₃, C₆H₃F₂), are prepared in good yields by the reactions of HgF₂ with Me₃SiR_f.

The Reaction of the Betain‐like Compound O2C2(PPh3)2 with [(cod)PtI2] – Crystal Structure of the Salt (HC{PPh3}2)[(η3‐C8H11)PtI2]

The reaction of the betain‐like compound O₂C₂(PPh₃)₂ ( 1 ) with [(cod)PtX₂] in THF solution gives the salt‐like compounds (HC{PPh₃}₂)[(η³‐C₈H₁₁)PtX₂] ( 3 , X = I; 4 , X = Cl) in about quantitative yields. The new η³‐bonded C₈H₁₁ ligand is the result of a proton transfer from the coordinated cod ligand to 1 with subsequent release of CO₂. The X‐ray analysis of 3 shows the presence of two isomers in a 60:40 ratio, which differ in the bonding of the C₈H₁₁ ligand. 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group with the unit cell dimensions a = 1091.7(1), b = 1141.5(1), c = 1649.4(2) pm; α = 80.34(1)°, β = 83.62(1)°, γ = 89.03(1)°, V = 2013.7(4)·10⁶ pm³, Z = 2.

Syntheses of Trifluoromethanethiolato Platinum(II) Complexes – Crystal Structures of cis‐Pt(SCF3)2(PPh3)2 and trans‐Pt(SCF3)Cl(PPh3)2

Ligand exchange reactions of cis‐PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and [NMe₄]SCF₃ in different ratios were studied. Depending on the stoichiometry reactions proceeded with formation of products expected for the chosen ratio, i. e. cis‐Pt(SCF₃)Cl(PPh₃)₂, cis‐Pt(SCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂, and [NMe₄][Pt(SCF₃)₃(PPh₃)]. Starting from cis‐PtCl₂(MeCN)₂ and [NMe₄]SCF₃ and adding PPh₃ after substitution, product mixtures were dominated by the corresponding trans‐isomers. Results of the single crystal structure analyses of cis‐Pt(SCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂ and trans‐Pt(SCF₃)Cl(PPh₃)₂ are discussed.     

Neue Germanide mit geordneter Ce3Pt4Ge6‐Struktur – Die Verbindungen Ln3Pt4Ge6 (Ln: Pr–Dy)

New Germanides with an Ordered Variant of the Ce₃Pt₄Ge₆ Type of Structure – The Compounds Ln₃Pt₄Ge₆ (Ln: Pr–Dy) Six new germanides Ln₃Pt₄Ge₆ with Ln = Pr–Dy were synthesized by heating mixtures of the elements at 900 °C, annealing the inhomogeneous powders at 1050‐1100 °C for six days and then cooling down from 700 °C in the course of two months. The crystal structures of Pr₃Pt₄Ge₆ (a = 26.131(5), b = 4.399(1), c = 8.820(2) Å), Sm₃Pt₄Ge₆ (a = 25.974(3), b = 4.356(1), c = 8.748(1) Å), and Dy₃Pt₄Ge₆ (a = 26.079(5), b = 4.311(1), c = 8.729(2) Å) were determined by single crystal X‐ray methods. The compounds are isotypic (Pnma, Z = 4) and crystallize with an ordered variant of the Ce₃Pt₄Ge₆ type of structure (Cmcm, Z = 2) consisting of CaBe₂Ge₂‐ and YIrGe₂‐analogous units. The platinum atoms are located in distorted square pyramids of germanium atoms and build up with them a three‐dimensional network. The coordination polyhedra of the platinum and germanium atoms around the rare‐earth metal atoms are pentagonal and hexagonal prisms. These are completed by some additional atoms resulting in coordination numbers of 14 and 15 respectively. The other germanides were investigated by powder methods resulting in the following lattice constants: a = 26.067(6), b = 4.388(1), c = 8.800(2) Å for Ln = Nd; a = 25.955(7), b = 4.337(1), c = 8.728(2) Å for Ln = Gd; a = 25.944(5), b = 4.322(1), c = 8.698(2) Å for Ln = Tb. The atomic arrangement of Ln₃Pt₄Ge₆ is compared with the well‐known monoclinic structure of Y₃Pt₄Ge₆.     

Die Kristallstrukturen der Azido‐Platinate (AsPh4)2[Pt(N3)4] und (AsPh4)2[Pt(N3)6]

Crystal Structures of the Azido Platinates (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₄] and (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₆] The crystal structures of the two homoleptic azido platinates (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₄] ( 1 ) and (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₆] ( 2 ) were determined by X‐ray diffraction at single crystals. In 1 the [Pt(N₃)₄]^2– ions are without crystallographic site‐symmetry, and the platinum atoms show a planar surrounding. The [Pt(N₃)₆]^2– ions in 2 are centrosymmetric (C_i) with an octahedral surrounding at the platinum atoms. While 1 is highly explosive, 2 is of significantly greater stability. This behaviour is explained by the packing conditions. 1 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 6, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1045.3(1), b = 1620.2(1), c = 4041.0(3) pm; β = 96.70(1)°; R₁ = 0.0654. 2 : Space group P1, Z = 1, lattice dimenstions at –80 °C: a = 1027.6(1), b = 1049.1(2), c = 1249.9(3) pm; α = 88.27(1)°, β = 74.13(1)°, γ = 67.90(1)°; R₁ = 0.0417.     

Structure and Bonding of the Hexameric Platinum(II) Dichloride,Pt6Cl12 (β‐PtCl2)

The crystal structure of Pt₆Cl₁₂ (β‐PtCl₂) was redetermined ( a_h = 13.126Å, c_h = 8.666Å, Z = 3; a_rh = 8.110Å, α = 108.04°; 367 hkl, R = 0.032). As has been shown earlier, the structure is in principle a hierarchical variant of the cubic structure type of tungsten (bcc), which atoms are replaced by the hexameric Pt₆Cl₁₂ molecules. Due to the 60° rotation of the cuboctahedral clusters about one of the trigonal axes, the symmetry is reduced from to ( ). The molecule Pt₆Cl₁₂ shows the (trigonally elongated) structure of the classic M₆X₁₂ cluster compounds with (distorted) square‐planar PtCl₄ fragments, however without metal‐metal bonds. The Pt atoms are shifted outside the Cl₁₂ cuboctahedron by Δ = +0.046Å ( (Pt—Cl) = 2.315Å; (Pt—Pt) = 3.339Å). The scalar relativistic DFT calculations results in the full symmetry for the optimized structure of the isolated molecule with d(Pt—Cl) = 2.381Å, d(Pt—Pt) = 3.468Å and Δ = +0.072Å. The electron distribution of the Pt‐Pt antibonding HOMO exhibits an outwards‐directed asymmetry perpendicular to the PtCl₄ fragments, that plays the decisive role for the cluster packing in the crystal. A comparative study of the Electron Localization Function with the hypothetical trans‐(Nb₂Zr₄)Cl₁₂ molecule shows the distinct differences between Pt₆Cl₁₂ and clusters with metal‐metal bonding. Due to the characteristic electronic structure, the crystal structure of Pt₆Cl₁₂ in space group is an optimal one, which results from comparison with rhombohedral Zr₆I₁₂ and a cubic bcc arrangement.

In 4 the [Pd₂(N₃)₄Cl₂]^2– anions show end‐on bridging azide groups as well as terminal chlorine atoms and azide ligands. The anions in 5 and 6 show azide ligands in equal positions with almost local C_4h symmetry at the platinum and palladium atom respectively. The metal atoms show a planar surrounding. The [Pt(N₃)₆]^2– anions in 7 are centrosymmetric (idealized S₆ symmetry) with an octahedral surrounding of six nitrogen atoms at the platinum centers.

A possible mechanism of the thermal decomposition of the complex 1 is discussed.     

2J(P,C) and 3J(P,C) Coupling Constants in Some New Phosphoramidates. Crystal Structures of CF3C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)]2 and 4‐NO2‐C6H4N(H)P(O)[4‐CH3‐NC5H9]2

Some new phosphoramidates were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

Compound 1 forms a centrosymmetric dimer and compound 6 forms a polymeric zigzag chain, both via ‐N‐H…O=P‐ intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C‐H…F and C‐H…O hydrogen bonds were observed in compounds 1 and 6 , respectively. ¹³C NMR spectra were used for study of ²J(P,C) and ³J(P,C) coupling constants that were showed in the molecules containing N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(C₂H₅)(CH₂C₆H₅) moieties, ²J(P,C)>³J(P,C). A contrast result was obtained for the compounds involving a five‐membered ring aliphatic amine group, NC₄H₈. ²J(P,C) for N(C₂H₅)₂ moiety and in NC₄H₈ are nearly the same, but ³J(P, C) values are larger than those in molecules with a pyrrolidinyl ring. This comparison was done for compounds with six and seven‐membered ring amine groups. In compounds with formula XP(O)[N(CH₂R)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, ²J(P,CH₂)_benzylic>²J(P,CH₂)_aliphatic, in an agreement with our previous study.

Zur Umsetzung von Kupfer(I)‐ und Kupfer(II)‐Salzen mit P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 ‐ die Festkörperstrukturen von {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuOClO3}ClO4, {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]Cu}ClO4, [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuONO2 und [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)2(C6H4CH2NMe2H+NO3‐‐2)]CuONO2

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.

The structures of 7 , K[C₆H₅CH₂(CF₃)₂BF] ( K‐6 a ), and K[C₆H₅(CF₃)₂BF] ( K‐8 a ) have been investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In 7 the CF₃ groups make short repulsive contacts with NMe₃ and C₆F₅ entities – the B–CF₃ bonds being unusually long. The B–F bond lengths of K‐6 a and K‐8 a (1.446(3) and 1.452(2) Å, respectively) are long for a fluoroborate.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Pentafluorethylkupfer(I)‐ und ‐(III)‐Verbindungen: Cu(C2F5) · D, [Cu(C2F5)2]– und (C2F5)2CuSC(S)N(C2H5)2

Syntheses and Properties of Pentafluoroethylcopper(I) and ‐copper(III) Compounds: CuC₂F₅ · D, [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–, and (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ The reactions of Cd(C₂F₅)₂ · D and Zn(C₂F₅)₂ · D (D = 2 CH₃CN, 2 DMF), respectively, with copper(I) halides in the presence of halides quantitatively yield the CuC₂F₅ compounds CuC₂F₅ · D and [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–. The CuC₂F₅ complexes are identified by NMR spectroscopy, while [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– is isolated as PNP salt (PNP = (C₆H₅)₃PNP(C₆H₅)₃⁺). Both compounds are excellent C₂F₅ group transfer reagents, even at low temperature. Oxidation of [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– with [(C₂H₅)₂NC(S)S]₂ yields the crystalline Cu(III) compound (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ (monoclinic, C2/c).

[Me₄N][M(CF₃)₃(PPh₃)] crystallize isotypically in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with Z = 4. The NMR spectra of the new compounds are described.     

Synthesis and Structure of K[Cd(O2N‐C6H4‐NNN‐C6H4‐NO2)3], an Anionic 1, 3‐Bis(4‐nitrophenyl)triazenido Complex of Cadmium

The reaction of cadmium acetate in methanol with 1, 3‐bis(4‐nitrophenyl)triazene in THF in the presence of KOH yields K[Cd(O₂NC₆H₄NNNC₆H₄NO₂)₃] in form of hexagonal prismatic, red crystals with the trigonal space group R3¯ and a = 12.229(2), c = 48.988(10) Å and Z = 6. In the anionic cadmium complexes, which are located along the threefold axis, the Cd atoms are coordinated in a trigonal prismatic arrangement by the atoms N(1) and N(3) of three triazenido ligands. The potassium cations are coordinated icosahedrally by oxygen atoms of each one nitro group of six neighbouring anionic complexes. The Cd‐N distances are 2.376(4) and 2.350(4) Å, and the K‐O distances are in the range of 2.833(6) to 3.365(6) Å.
